Efficient hot water is not just theory in White Rock. There have already been 707 efficient hot water systems installed in the 2795 postcode, including both heat pump and solar hot water installation projects.

Each new system adds to community hot water energy savings and helps more homes move towards all‑electric living.
Even if your current unit is still working, more White Rock homeowners are now asking whether an upgrade to a modern heat pump hot water system, a high‑performance solar hot water heating system or a well‑insulated electric hot water system makes sense before energy prices climb again. The upfront hot water system price or cost is often lower than people expect once incentives are applied. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) effectively act as a nationwide solar hot water rebate or heat pump hot water rebate, cutting the installed heat pump hot water price or cost and solar hot water price or cost at the point of sale.
On top of this, NSW‑based schemes and occasional electric hot water system rebate offers can further reduce the cost of moving away from gas hot water. For many White Rock households, the combined discounts can trim the system cost by a substantial percentage and shorten the payback period to just a few years, especially if you already have solar panels or are planning them. Using timers or a solar‑diversion controller to run your electric hot water installation or heat pump during sunny hours can squeeze even more value from your rooftop solar and turn your unit into a truly energy efficient hot water system.
